August 16, 2021 - Service, American Food, Ice Cream, and Illegal Lavender Smuggling

I woke up early yesterday, around 7. I ate, showered, got dressed, and hopped in the car for a small family service for my grandmother. After that concluded, we went to the church for a larger service with friends. It was really nice, and went off without a hitch. I ate lunch and reconnected at the reception. We returned to the house, and I sat on the beach for two hours. By then the tide had come in, and I went for a swim. When I got out, I sat on the deck until it was time to leave for dinner at the big house. I walked there, which was nice. We all had hot dogs and burgers. Afterwards, old neighborhood friends started showing up for the annual ice cream social. There were many lively conversations, and when we finished, everyone stood in a circle and people told stories about their intertwined childhood summers on the Cape and across New England. It was wonderful. I got back, sat on the deck for a little bit, then went to bed (not before seeing Luisa’s guitar videos). 4,757 steps, pretty awful but I have an excuse. Today gets a 9. It won’t let me put pictures in, sorry. Eat fresh.
